Here in Sweden, that would also have been rejected, most stores won't accept cash at all.
I had to pay for my car using a wire transfer a few days before I picked it up.
I do think that it would have been funny to just use tap to pay, but apparently that would have increased the cost by a lot.
Lucky for you, I don't judge people for replying to the wrong comment.
I sort of assumed that these days design patents are mostly ignored by smartphone companies.
After a while it just makes sense to drop the legal stuff and stop wasting money on constant lawsuits.
People who judge other people based on nothing other than what technology brand they use instantly are instantly lower on my respectometer.
Fuck off with that shit.
I used Symbian for years, then I used android tablets as a complement to the Symbian phones for years, then I got an iPhone for work, and when my last Symbian device died I got an iPhone as I knew the OS from my work phone. A few years later I tried an Android phone for a few months, but when the display got totaled in a drop, and I had to send the phone away, I just got back to my iPhone as it was easier to fix on the spot in local repair shops.
I am an IT guy, I don't care about blue or green bubbles, if you are on Android, that is fine, that probably works better for you, for me iOS has so far served me well.
Stop judging others for their preference of tech brands. Apple and Google are both evil.
Most headphones absolutely have 3.5mm connections!
Just because you are looking at a small subset of gaming headset or standard consumer headphones does not mean that most headphones doesn't have it.
Also, calling someone a luddite for wanting stuff that just works is idiotic.
The earliest ancestor to the 3.5mm plug is the phone connector, invented in the late 1800s for phone switchboards, this means that the 3.5mm standard has more than a century of active use and development.
You make a classic mistake of equating complexity with advancement.
Good engineering is to strive for the simplest solution given the constraints of the problem.
Credit scores are used to tell companies how much they can earn on lending you money.
Paying back quickly reduces the amount they can earn, lowering your credit score.
Not paying it back obviously lowers the score.
The way I understand it, to raise your credit score you need to slowly pay back your loans, so you pay back maximum interest.
Note however that I am just a cynical IT guy in Sweden with zero actual exposure to US/UK style credit scores, and that I may be talking out of my ass.
The tariffs were never about bringing in taxes, they were about manipulating the market while isolating the US from the rest of the world.
In this case both works.
This guy doesn't get to enjoy his pension, while younger generations has to wait longer to get actual representation of their views among serving politicians.
Why the fuck is a 92 year old man still actively holding office?
And what insane political system would allow this to happen?
This is elder abuse!
Easy, take a spare phone set up a video call between that phone and your normal phone, leave the spare phone in the lightbulb room.
Go to the light switch room and start flipping switches while looking at your normal phone.

This is a Planteray tasting giftbox, six bottles of different rum, five of which are dedicated to a specific bad person, for when I no longer share the planet with them, I printed ribbons on my label maker with the name of the person the bottle is dedicated to.
Interestingly, out of the five bottles I have dedicated, four of them are dedicated to a person with a "u" as the first or only vowel in their surname.
The current dedication goes out to:
Mr. Trump
Mr. Putin
Mr. Musk
Mr. Murdoch
Mr. Orbán
The fifth is as of yet undedicated, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.
You hear them bang on and on about this cycle:
Bad times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.
This is absolutely true, 100%
So the facists are right!
Too bad they confuse who the strong and weak men are...
Sorry for the rage bait title, I just wanted to joke a bit.
This is a photo of four bottles of champagne each dedicated to Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban respectively for when the world no longer has to deal with their miserable existance.
I have posted about these bottles before, they are designated to be toasted when the world is freed from the respective person.
The ribbons are printed on a labelmaker in the P-touch series from Brother, and have the following names:
- Trump
- Putin
- Orban
- Musk
In these shit times this is my little protest against terrible people.
Earlier today, I saw the post about cow eggs, and just realized that most people don't know that tractors also hatches from eggs, you see these every summer on farmers fields but most people don't realize that this is an integral part of the lifecycle of a tractor.
Tractors lay a lot of eggs in captivity, but few survive to hatch a new tractor, most tractors you see come from the wild tractor populations around the world, this is also why no one has ever been able to take a photo of a tractor hatching from is soft shell.

I get what you mean, and agree to some extent, but the reality is that handling cash is expensive and dangerous.
Back in the early 2000s, there was a large wave of high profile armours car robberies in Sweden.
Some even completely blew up the armoured car.
This lead to a debate and a deliberate effort to reduce the ammount of cash used in Sweden.
I remember reading something about 97% of all transactions inside Sweden are now done electronically.
This has lead to banks having offices that don't handle cash, and that banks are looking at cash deposits with suspicion, since you can't trace cash.
This, as usual, only really affects normal poeple, and criminals have ways around it.
